I HAVE GROWN TO BELIEVE EIGHT THINGS
“I have grown to believe: That the one thing worth aiming at is simplicity of heart and life; That one’s relations with others should be direct, not diplomatic; That power leaves a bitter taste in the mouth; That meanness and hardness and coldness are the unforgivable sins; That conventionality is the mother of dreariness; That pleasure exists not in the virtue of material conditions, but in the joyful heart; That the world is a very interesting and beautiful place; That congenial labour is the secret of happiness.”
— Arthur Christopher Benson

Grooming Your Child
The owner of a farm asked his child to work every day at the farm.
His friend said to him, “You do not have to make your son work so hard. The crops would grow just as good.”
Owner of the farm replied, “I am not cultivating my crops, but my child.”
A simple way to groom a child is to let him/her experience some hardships.
